Here's the one in my set. The TPG dinged this one for "ink burn." The paper is so thin on these things, it's hard to believe that there's one out...
It doesn't mean anything unless a miracle happens the pieces the government confiscated get on the market. Then it might mean a lot.
That is an old holder from about 20 years ago. I clicked on one that showed up an ad that popped up here which Heritage sold in February. It was...
If memory serves, I think that was graded MS-63 at one point, which is the right number. Now PCGS and CAC say it’s MS-65. I guess the gash on Ms....
I am maintaining a file of photos of coins, over graded in the holder, with CAC stickers on them. The file grows by the week. Lately I have been...
I would go AU-58. It has a rub on the knee, but many times they ignore that and call it low end Mint State. Maybe the frosty luster prompted them...

They are not really an auction, but I have had good service of Harlan Berk. I know some pay say their prices are high, but the items are as...
Here is Maximinus combined with "Pax." Some how one does not think of Maximinus and peace going together unless it's in the context that he has...
From what I have read, the future emperor, Nerva, enjoyed Nero's poetry so he had at least one fan. [ATTACH] Here’s the “poet laureate” himself...
Original surfaces. The reprocessed ones are bright and shiny. Just to show how numismatic retailing has changed, I used to see many ads in the...

Here is the coin that is my "all emperors" set. [ATTACH] Denarius of Macrinus, Obverse: IMP C M OPEL SEV MACRINVS AVG “Emperor caesar Marcus...
You goals are very broad, but perhaps after you start to collect some of what you covered above, you will find a series or a theme that interests...
Maybe the grades got reversed at the factory. :doctor:
I would get it graded although 1904 is the most common date in the series. If genuine, the lowest grade you will get is MS-64, which makes it...
It looks very similar to the MS-64 example in my collection. I am concerned about the dull area that is on Ms. Liberty’s shin. That might be a...
The key coins in this set have been counterfeited frequently. The photos make them appear to be genuine, but the photos are small and therefore do...
One of the factors that convinced 19th century collectors to buy restrikes of these political pieces was reported rarity. Here is an original...
